Description
McGraw Hill Green Technologies by Arceivala
This
book describes the various ‘Green Technologies’ that either do not produce
any greenhouse gases nor any pollutants nor do they depend on the earth’s
scant resources of oil and other fossil fuels. A relatively poor country like
India has to uplift itself while at the same time meet the world’s demands
for mitigating climate change. This is the crux of the matter: the book shows
how we can derive business and industrialization benefits from our climate
change activities so that the resulting development may be able to justify
the advantage by going along with the developed world and reducing our
emissions.
The book indicates the direction in which business and technology is likely
to develop in future, and will be invaluable for developers, town-planners
and architects who will nd new
guidelines in designing ‘green buildings’ and ‘green districts’ and a new
road-map for designing new townships and cities; engineers and infrastructure
handlers, who will value the discussion on the country’s resources in
conceiving infrastructure and maintaining it by using minimum resources; and
industrialists and business people in general, who will see the wide variety of business opportunities green technologies will
create for everybody.
